Every once in a while something happens at work that makes it all worth while. Today, near the end of a long, boring day, I got a phone call from a man looking to "order a book". "Alright, let me see if I can. What is the title you were looking for?" "Porn Jobs, by Ray West. That's Porn P-o-r-n." :mistrust: As if I didn't know how to spell that word?
Well, I couldn't find the book in our system (not surprising) so he says that he "found it online." "Well, sir, in that case you should probably order this title online." "Yeah, maybe I could find it at a specialty shop." "Yes, that is a possibility."
"Okay, so do you sell adult magazines there?" "Yes, sir." "What kinds?" "The usual things, Penthouse, Playboy, Playgirl." (At this point, two of my co-workers are staring at me laughing silently and I have the attention of a couple of shoppers.) The guy asks about two magazines that I don't remember the names of, one about making adult videos and the other something with the word "moose" in the title.
I finally get off the phone with him and start laughing so hard I nearly piss myself. Out of curiosity, I googled the book he claimed to be looking up and actually found it. I was so sure that it was a fake title, but no.

I know that it was probably just some asshole that thought it would be funny to try to get a "rise" out of me, but shit, that made my day.
